Given the onerous nature of re-typing information, many user agents and other &#8220;Autofill implementors&#8221; (e.g., browser extensions) provide &#8220;Autofill&#8221; services to aid the user in easily filling in forms. However today, Autofill Implementors have a wide range of capabilities and behaviours, such that both users and websites are faced with different experiences depending on the Autofill implementor being used.<\/p>\n\n<p>The mission of this group is to provide a forum for Autofill implementors to: develop a common understanding of Autofill and its interaction with the web; discuss and share known issues; and develop joint proposals to improve the experience of Autofill for users and website developers.<\/p>\n\n<p>This group may publish Specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n<p>\n    You are invited to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/groups\/proposed\/#autofill\">support the creation of this group<\/a>.\n    Once the group has a total of 5 supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work.
